A Dated Introduction to Online Marketing* *Note: This is the original version of a whitepaper that was authored in 2001 by iCondotta's founder and principal consultant, Stephan Aarstol. It's a useful primer, but dated - pre-Wikipedia (2001), pre-Google AdWords PPC (2002), way pre-YouTube (2005), you get the picture... CPM (Cost per 1000 Impressions) CPM is the industry standard ad pricing model whereby the advertiser is charged a flat-rate cost per one thousand impressions, or page views, of an advertisement placement on a particular website. For example, at a $30 CPM rate, it would cost $1500 to purchase a 50,000-impression placement. In general, the more targeted a website’s audience, the higher CPM rate they charge. CPM rates are all over the board, from less than a $2 CPM on broad, unfocused websites, to more than a couple hundred dollar CPM on focused web sites or further targeted sub-sections of sites. Keep in mind that on many web properties, a good portion of available website impressions go left unsold, so openness to negotiations based on volume are commonplace. Authored in 2001
